What this value means
Latest official month is MAY 2026, released by the National Planning Council on 18 Jun 2026: general CPI 110.05 points (base 2018=100), month-on-month -0.51% (largest drag Transport -3.85%; Food & Beverages +1.84%). CPI excluding Housing/Utilities was 114.59 (-0.69% MoM). The NPC monthly headline release states the index level and MoM change; it does NOT quote a year-on-year figure, and the official PSA/NPC statistics portal (psa.gov.qa) refused connection (ECONNREFUSED) from this location, so an official May-2026 YoY could not be captured. The last OFFICIAL year-on-year reading is Q1 2026 = +2.98% (QNA, https://qna.org.qa/en/News-Area/News/2026-5/12/qatar-cpi-rises-298-year-on-year-in-q1-2026). Press/aggregator trackers put May-2026 YoY at about +2.2% (Apr ~+2.62%) — DO NOT SERVE AS FACT until confirmed in an NPC bulletin. Value served here is the official index level, not an inflation rate. Next release: June 2026 CPI, expected mid-July 2026.
